---we have reached the 50 PS goal this week. Thank you. Here are the bonus chapters----
"WTF!!!"
Immediately, the team members who were about to take pictures all screamed, their hands shaking, nearly dropping their photography equipment.
They had never expected to witness such a terrifying scene!
All the monsters in the courtyard were actually looking at them?
Those pairs of eyes, in various colors, emitted eerie and intimidating lights in the darkness, like the gaze of death itself, sending chills down their spines and making their scalps tingle!
Some team members even broke out in goosebumps, feeling a cold sweat rise from the depths of their hearts.
One of them, recalling the Siberian tiger they had encountered earlier in the day, couldn't help but gulp nervously, their legs starting to tremble again in fear.
They couldn't even handle a talking Siberian tiger.
If all the monsters in the courtyard attacked them, they'd surely be devoured without a trace left!
"P-Professor Qin, what should we do now..."
One of the team members quickly turned to Professor Qin, stammering out the question.
His hands, holding the camera, were trembling uncontrollably, and no matter how hard he tried to steady them, he couldn't stop the shaking.
It was clear that he was utterly terrified!
But since Professor Qin hadn't given any orders, he didn't dare drop the camera and run just yet.
And he wasn't the only one feeling this scared.
Other team members also showed expressions of anxiety and fear, worried that the monsters in the courtyard would charge out at any moment and tear them to pieces!
One short-haired female team member, unable to control the terror in her heart, cried out with a trembling voice.
"Waaah~ We've been discovered by the monsters, they're going to eat us soon! I don't want to die here, I still don't have a boyfriend, and I haven't even kissed anyone yet..."
Upon hearing this sobbing voice,
The other team members began to imagine the bloody scene of being devoured by the monsters, their faces turning pale as their lips quivered in fear!
Even Professor Qin's hand, holding the camera, was shaking uncontrollably!
Clearly, he hadn't expected that just as they were about to take photos, the monsters would discover them.
A sense of helplessness surged in his heart.
After all, just one talking Siberian tiger had already put immense pressure and fear on them.
And in that courtyard, there were at least a thousand monsters gathered.
Even if the monsters didn't attack, just hearing each one of them speak would be enough to make anyone panic, their guts turning to mush!
But Professor Qin was not willing to give up so easily.
After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If they missed tonight, who knew when they'd ever stumble upon this village again?
So, Professor Qin gritted his teeth, pressed down on his trembling hand with the other, then glanced quickly at his demoralized team members and growled, "Quiet!! Since we've been spotted, let's make the most of it! Take as many pictures as you can, and then we run! Got it?!"
The other team members, hearing this, knew it was the best option.
So they nodded tightly, biting back their fear, picked up their cameras and phones, and once again aimed at the animals in the courtyard.
Some of the more nervous team members, whose legs were shaking, pinched the flesh on their arms hard and joined their companions in pressing the shutter button.
But then, something unexpected happened again!
"Damn it! Why did my camera suddenly run out of battery?"
"Shit! The camera screen just cracked?"
"Ah!! My phone's gone black too..."
"Oh my God! All the equipment just failed?!"
A series of incredulous shouts erupted one after another.
The team members stared in shock at the equipment in their hands, utterly disbelieving!
Just earlier, back at the base camp, every camera and phone had been fully charged and in perfect condition.
But now, just as they were about to take pictures of the animals, all the photography equipment malfunctioned?
Was this just a coincidence?
Obviously not!!
Even the camera in Professor Qin's hands was destroyed by an invisible magnetic field, sparks flying out of it, scaring him into quickly tossing it aside.
Immediately after, Professor Qin suddenly raised his head, locking eyes with the gaze of the great demons. His whole body felt as if it had fallen into an icy pit, his hands and feet turning cold, and his body began trembling uncontrollably.
A wave of despair and helplessness surged within him.
At that moment, Professor Qin finally understood that the animals sitting in the courtyard were not ordinary monsters but great demons with intelligence!
How could their small team possibly stand a chance against these great demons?
Realizing this, Professor Qin began to accept reality. No matter how unwilling he felt, he knew that the priority now was to save his and his team's lives.
With a trembling voice, he shouted, "Run! Run quickly!! Stop filming, your lives are more important!!!"
The other team members, seeing that the photography equipment was broken, immediately realized that it must have been the work of the great demons.
This mysterious and terrifying method left each team member in utter fear, feeling as though their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.
Finally, hearing Professor Qin's voice, they snapped back to reality, fully awakened.
Without bothering to pick up the dropped equipment, they turned around and prepared to flee once again.
Their movements were swift and fluid, as if they had rehearsed their escape many times before.
However, just as they began to run at full speed to get out of there...
A piercing scream, filled with terror, ripped through the darkness at the village entrance once again.
"Ah~ Snakes! There are snakes!!"
Upon hearing this, the other team members were startled and instinctively wanted to look at the female team member who had screamed.
But before any of them could raise their heads, they felt something slippery crawling into their pant legs.
They quickly looked down and saw that on the ground, illuminated by the moonlight, were numerous small snakes, each as thick as a thumb.
Some of the snakes had raised half of their bodies, watching the team while flicking their tongues.
Other snakes had swiftly slithered over, crawling into the team members' pants and beginning to wriggle upward.
Feeling the cold touch of the snakes' scales against their skin, the team members' faces instantly paled, and they could no longer suppress their fear, screaming out loud!
"Ah, damn it! Two snakes just crawled onto my back!!"
"Oh my god! A snake is pulling down my pants!"
"Waaah~~~ Please, somebody do something and get rid of these snakes..."
"Holy crap! P-Professor Qin, the Siberian tiger—it's back, and it's standing right behind you!!!"
What?!
The Siberian tiger is back?!
Professor Qin's body immediately tensed, and he felt all the hairs on his body stand on end.
His mouth went dry, and it felt like at any moment, he would be swallowed whole by the tiger.
Trembling all over, Professor Qin slowly turned to look behind him...
...
Meanwhile, in the courtyard.
An Chen vaguely heard some other noises.
He raised an eyebrow and asked the students in front of him, "Shh, do you hear something? It seems to be coming from the entrance of the village..."
